AFUA visited Thendic-France : Comment 221 of 629 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Samface on 25-Apr-2002 17:04 GMT | In reply to Comment 219 (Teemu Suikki): Ignore my opinions for a second and read this again:
"Regardless of which form you use, there is no way to get at the machine data code stored within the ROM once it is burned into those little black rectangles of silica and metal unless you come up with a way to download it from the chip itself. Downloading in this case refers to some kind of special interface linked to the ROM itself whereby its internal code can then be "dumped." The result is object code in software instead of hardware, which is easier by far for a developer to work with."
An officially released product (which the downloadable version of MorphOS is considered as) is illegal if it uses any kind of dump of the original ROM, and from what I can tell by this statement there is no other way of accessing the ROM without doing this.
Please note that I'm not posting my opinion here, it's the facts. If you think they are wrong, prove them wrong. |
